The bad practise would be to entirely disable IPv6.

30021190 ,

Maybe try forcing only IPv4 connections for the traffic you want to keep private?

Your biggest leak maybe IPv6 DNS which is probably not that big of a deal really…

30021190 ,

I think the gentoo install guide will be helpful for this chrooting…

30021190 ,

I’m not sure about anything you’re running but I would look into certbot.

Either using the basic web plugin or DNS plugin. Nginx would be simpler, you’d just have to open your web ports on certificate generation to pass the challenge.

I know some proxy tools have let’s encrypt support, such as traefik.

30021190 ,

Ports 80 and 443.

The cli is easy and you could just Cron (scheduled task) a bunch of commands to open the firewall, renew cert and close the firewall. It’s how I do it for some internal systems.

30021190 ,

Ah no, sorry I wrongly assumed you had an DMZ/public IP.

Some routers may have automated ways to open ports but that would be highly dependent the router etc

Surely a 1:1 emulator would just run DRM as expected and it would never know… Feels like it may stop day1 piracy via emulators but anything beyond I’m sure would be patched.

This is the most confusing and awesome message I’ve ever had.

Microsoft Teams is now part of the Xbox Game Bar so you can stream gameplay to friends - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft has integrated Microsoft Teams with the Xbox Game Bar, allowing users to stream their gameplay in real-time to friends over Teams video calls. Up to 20 people can join a call to watch and chat together while gaming. The viewer can see both the game and overlaid video of friends. However, streaming performance is...

It’s for work and that’s all…

You also have Teams for Linux which is compatible with Microsoft Teams (Work)but no longer supported. It however isn’t compatible with Microsoft Teams (Personal) but if you try to use Microsoft Teams on Linux for personal use, it tells you to install the now non-existant Teams for Linux that only works with Microsoft Teams (Work).

There’s also two different versions of logging out in Teams for Linux, Logout and Log Out. Both of which log you out but only one lets you log in as a different user.

Don’t get me started with the Microsoft Teams PWA that is now the “way to use Teams on Linux” but isn’t the Teams PWA that installs if you try the normal way…

All hail Microsoft Teams! At least I can stream the games I’m playing to my work meetings so people know I’m skiving.

Exactly, people seem to think the Rocky/CIQ contract with NASA was the breaker but that was peanuts, we all know it was Oracle.

30021190 ,

I have a bunch of Intel motherboards circa 2015 that “support” UEFI as in it will boot windows but not any other payload.

30021190 ,

SQLite doesn’t like NFS, the file locking isn’t stable/fast enough so any latency in the storage can cause data loss, corruption or just slow things down.

However SQLite to MySQL is relatively peanuts, Postgres less so…

Still it’s a nice move for those that don’t run containers on a single host with local filesystems.

30021190 ,

Federation more or less means the info is copied, so from a dcma standpoint the instance is still liable. If content is deleted from the main instance, it doesn’t always delet from a federated one.

This would de different if you could proxy instead of copy the data on federation.

30021190 ,

Technically it is, as someone else mentioned, text is copied on federation, this means is you as an admin need to actively moderate instances you federate with that may cause you issues in a legal standpoint whether correct or not. Facebook etc have rights that means you’re not liable for user content, you as an individual instance admin however would need to fight for those rights.

Sure it’s a rubbish thing they did but I also understand it completely.

Try shifting/cashing legitimate XMR is very hard now.

Very early profiles don’t always have this and only show the long steam ID.

This is the best answer.

Strange the only languages it gives is English or Russian?

Lutris Login Requirement for GOG Game Ownership Verification

As the title suggests, Lutris is requiring me to sign in to GOG so that it can verify my ownership of the game. If my memory serves me well, I used to be able to simply click on the GOG version and then link it to the installation executable file that I downloaded from gog-games.com.

30021190 ,

Use the Lutris website to find the game and install script, that should bypass the login check and let you bring your own exe.

State of gaming on linux?

I used linux in the past, both privately and work-related, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I’m a bit out of touch. I am in need of a new PC, but it’ll be a good year before I have the funds, so for now I am making due with an i5 7500 and a gtx 1660. I do have 32 GB so there’s that. I finally feel confident...

30021190 ,

So my current experience is Lutris-GE-Proton8 doesn’t work properly with all GOG installers and it just gives black flickering… However I used to have great success with Lutris.

Text-based games!(?)

Even though we got a computer in the mid to late 90’s, a shitty DOS-box that no-one kind of really knew how to do anything with, I was infinitely interested in anything to do with it. I remember playing Guerrilla Wars and some dungeon crawlers on it and such, but I feel like I almost entirely missed out on text-based games. I...

Checkout Zork, it runs Zcode games. There’s loads of games at IfArchive with some packs listed on intfiction.

Which filesystem should I use for stable storage?

Hello everyone. I’m going to build a new PC soon and I’m trying to maximize its reliability all I can. I’m using Debian Bookworm. I have a 1TB M2 SSD to boot on and a 4TB SATA SSD for storage. My goal is for the computer to last at least 10 years. It’s for personal use and work, playing games, making games, programming,...

30021190 ,

Ext4 with backups

30021190 ,

ZFS is great but I wouldn’t recommend it for single volume setups. I’ve never lost data with it but the parity has always been the saviour.

Never used BTRFS.

I avoid XFS due to performance reasons as most my systems are comprised of many smaller files which XFS isn’t great for. But the usage I’ve had with it, it’s been great

EXT4 is always my go-to for normal usage. Unless I need to be supporting older machines then it’s ext2/3.

30021190 , (edited )

Ceph works best if you have identical osd, quantity, type and capacity across the cluster, also works best on a 3+ node cluster.

I ran a mixed sata SSD/HDD 256gb/4tb cluster and it was always a bit pants. Now I have 7x1tb SSD per node (4nodes) and it works fantastic now.

Proxmox uses replica 3/2 failure at host level but you may find that EC works better for your mixed infra as you noticed you can’t meed the 3 host failure and so setting to osd failure level means data may be kept on a single host so would need to traverse the network to the other machine.

You may also need more than a single 10Gb nic too as you might start hitting bandwidth issues.

30021190 ,

So my production setup is 2x10Gb bonded NICs for networking and 2x10Gb bonded NICs for Ceph/Cluster stuff. I suspect that when ceph is being heavily used you may see bottlenecks however once you have host based failure then in theory your data should be closer to the correct host and not have an issue. But it’s on a basic level like have 3 copies of data, one on each host so it doesn’t save you any storage, just reduces the risks during failure.

Thinking about it, you may actually see better results with ZFS and replicate jobs. As there’s fewer overheads and the ZFS sending is incremental. You’d obviously just loose X minutes of data instead of ceph being X seconds.

Thanks for this, I will look at deploying Octave on our systems alongside MATLAB. I was unaware they were the same/similar package (I don’t use the software, only deploy it) and had never been asked for it.

30021190 ,

IMO the benefit of making MATLAB the standard is that it’s tried, tested and can be verified my many other institutions. It is however a dick move for the institute to not provide access to the software they standardise on, even if it’s remotely used.

How do you deal with the logs on your servers?

I’m pretty new to selfhosting, but one thing that I know to take seriously is log collection. Since there are a lot of different type of logs (kernel log, application logs, etc) and logs come in many different formats (binary, json, strings) - it’s no easy task to collect them centrally and look through them whenever...

30021190 ,

I use the standard system syslog with logrotate every 7 days with 1 month of gzip archive.

However on production systems, I run a central rsyslog server which archives once a week and a year of archives. Considering ELK in the future but for simple retention syslog is fine.

30021190 ,

Because you can compile parts out of many programs and suites; you can also change dependencies, such as never including audio support or MP3 libs for anything. Sure it means no sound but if you’re on a system without speakers then it’s no real loss and you’ve reduced your attack surface.

30021190 ,

Most people have some compilation tools installed on a binary based Linux, the tool chain yes would increase the surface too but being able to entirely remove specific parts of the os or say kernel code that is entirely unused reduces your surface. You can’t expoilt code that isn’t there.

30021190 ,

FYI docker images binding to an NFS mount can be tricky due to ACL extensions not being supported. Podman is especially bad for this.

30021190 ,

This compose looks like it should work, I’m not at a pc to test but it’s near identical to my own; I would maybe change onlyoffice for collabra otherwise try this.

Op states they are using a Nas and server, so if NFS is being used you may need :Z on the end of any kind volume (or a non-NFS mount point if using podman/extended ACLS don’t work).

30021190 ,

Try archive.ph

I’m sure on CentOS/RHEL7 this will be irrespectivly classified a CVE score of 7.8 so they don’t need do security updates for it.

What is your machine naming scheme?

I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it...

IPv6 doesn’t support NAT… Or am I woefully out of date.

But your home router will just firewall like it does already but you don’t have NAT as a simple fall back for “security”. It does make running internal services much easier as you no long need to port forward. So you can run two webservers on port 80 and they be bother allowed inbound without doing horrible load balance or NAT translation.

30021190 ,

TIL. Thanks!

Are there any good Blu-ray ripping software for Linux?

I’m well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer....

30021190 ,

You could check the files you don’t need to see if they’re a symlink, otherwise your script would crash out if it’s already completed.

30021190 ,

This seems like a bad idea and would only increase load for all federated instances with no real benefit to the community. (Maybe if you were an instance with say 10million users).

However it is exciting and cool, just personally not a recommendation I would be giving.

Keeping Open Source Open | Rocky Linux (rockylinux.org)

The two ways they have for getting source code are kind of funny and easy, and kind of makes fun of RHEL in pulling this maneuver, getting so much community backlash and ultimately having so little effect other than to negatively impact future business. But will they go further to violate the GPL? Or concede defeat? Say what you...

30021190 ,

I’m not 100% on this as I don’t work for NASA so don’t shoot me if I’m wrong however I suspect/speculate the NASA contract is purely because someone needed X machines for a task and that their IT contracts would require support for the years the project runs for. There may or may not be a stipulatio/recommendation on the OS for the software stack. Meaning that because they want to run software Y they need to run Rocky and so corporate requires that to have support. Not that Rocky were simply undercutting RHEL.

I repeat, this is purely speculation.
